The silver lining

 Bob and Grrr, and Dr. H hearing Stef  Gretta and Flower making un happy sounds rushed in from the garage. 

"What is it Babe? asked Bob to Stef..

His eyes red and his fighting fangs out. Grrr asked of Gretta. "where is it kid?

 Evenly kindly Dr. H, with deep concern in his  Hadrosaurus (duckbill) voice,  asked of Flower, (the hippy rapter), his mate.  "What is it my love?"

Three lovely faces two dino and one human turned toward their mates and Stef said  "The the mall, in Dino town, and and it was one of the few left, is closing"

So Grrr what is the gig??

 So Grrr what is the Gig if it is not TV or movies? asked Bob

"Those are just too much work pal and this pays a lot better..I am a fact checker" replied Grrr

"So you checking History of the Arts?" 

"Sure I will do them but why limit? I also do political and health stuff" replied Grrr

"But pal. you dont know anything about that...so you check N D F ?" asked Bob

"Naw. Too much like work. I just look at the list a post disproved by Fact checkers" . 

"but But that is ....."  replied Bob

"Hey pal, Before I met you I was an actor! This is just another gig."

"But its  ...how dumb do you think humans are?"  replied an outraged Bob.

"Hey pal, You seen who humans elect? asked the mighty T Rex.

A gig on the net???

 

Bob went over to Grrr's cave, to find Grrr sitting on a new recliner watching a 120 in HD TV with surround sound and ALL the stations; He had a root beer kegerator  and handcrafted rootbeer mug.

"Hey ya bum" Bob asked "You hit the lotto or what?"

Handing Bob a mug of excellent coffee and a box of donuts Pointing to a huge stack of ammo, a smart car, a couple of rifles.. a coffee maker and a crate of coffee and handing Bob a gift card for the history book store,

Grrr said " Hiya pal, I got you some stuff too. And I set up charge accounts for Stef and Gretta at their favorite malls"

"What gives, did you hit the Lotto or go back to acting?" 

"Nothing like that. I got a new part time gig on the NET. The loot is rolling in. In fact, I could use a colleague 50/50 old ape?" 

" Before I agree, what is it? I remember the time you talked me into the exchange dino program.. that dino from China, only he was a dragon and burned the house down." said Bob 

"Naw. Nothing like that. In fact this is a human gig, They dont even know I am a Rex. it is all done by the Net.

Rug and the NET

     "You  know what that mall is like and ..they don't even have a bookstore to hide in." Grrr said  As the two pals hid in their den in the swamp.

"Pal you know the girls when they are on the hunt." replied Bob. "I have seen Gretta shop, she is a pro and Stef, she may be a human, but she has raptor blood when it comes to the MALL. They got their own pack and no mistake."
"Yeah, and unless we think of something, we are for it. You know we cannot let them lug rugs around and you know that they will."
"True, I have seen them pack stuff into the car that weighted more than they do!" replied Bob "I..I got it Toss me the laptop..." said Bob.
"Pal, this is no time to check your e-mail we gotta..'

"man, am I glad we kicked in for the internet bundle ..I..." said  Bob
"What are ya doing? we gotta.." repeated Grrr.
"Look pal. if the girls are going shopping for new rugs, they are going shopping for new rugs. you want to tell Gretta that she cannot buy a couple of rugs?" 
"Well..ur..No I mean we can afford it and but the MALL!!!!" growled Grrr.
"Same here old reptile. So we gotta be smart. Look the rug store has an internet SALE and they can go to the store and you know how they like to look and feel stuff before they buy it and the store will also install and deliver FREE! You know how our ladies are about bargains!" 
smiling a big T-Rex grin..."Old Ape you are a genius!"
"Yep, when it comes down to it ya gotta love the net!" replied Bob

 Grrr and Bob were out walking to the snack bar when Grrr said. " you know old ape that bath was not a bad idea, gotta say you monkey people do get things right sometimes." "What do ya mean sometime you overgrown cousin to kermit the frog? who invented root beer?" Replied Bob.

"Yeah well." said Grrr. "You know I heard the girls talking about the rugs something about them getting old." " Stef was saying the same thing.  We only had them for about 10 years! " Replied Bob. "yeah, us too!" said Grrr.
"You thinking what I am thinking pal?" "Mall? asked Bob  
Yes!" replied Grrr.
The two guys ran for their den in the swamp!

Looking at Bob  Grrr said"Pal we gotta do something or you know what awaits us !"
"Yeah, the rug store and the MALL!!!" gasped Bob.
"We gotta go we cannot let the girls carry rugs and ya know we do!" said  Bob
We gotta think we cannot hide out here forever!"  whispered Grrr.

Bed bath and a roar!

 

"She ..it is not what she brought ..well it is, but it is just un-dino...I mean it is ok for you humans if you like that sort of thing but we dino? For millions of years..I mean ? "Well" asked Bob did ya tell her to send it back?" 
"Pal, you remember how Stef took care of you when you were in the hospital? Well Gretta did the same for me when I hurt my tail. She ..She..just looked so happy when they started installing..I.. Go ahead and laugh!"replied Grrr
"Not me pal. We are both lucky in our mates and if they do strange stuff from time to time..well .." said Bob. "yep" said Grrr "yep" said Bob.

 As the two guys headed home. 

I need a shower"  Bob said.

"I always said ya stink" replied Grrr with an big t rex grin.

 "So what did Gretta buy?" Bob asked Stef when he got home. 

"She brought the nicest bathroom, shower and hot tub and all marble! It is human size but with their size changing ring and necklaces that the F/X people gave them when they were in the movies, that is no problem. I have ordered a nice set for us the plumber is installing it now"

Grrr came in from his run hot and tired. Gretta said "Grrry you look tired. Poor dear I will run a nice hot bath for you in our new tub." "Tub! I don't need a tub that is a human thing! 

Ok for Bob and Stef but we are dinos and." 
"Please Grrry just for me?" asked Gretta.

 One look at her big green eyes and Grrr's mighty heart melted. 

"Ok Babe but just this once." Replied Grrr as he stepped into the Hot tub; slowly the angry look on Grrr's face turned into a smile. "Hey! You know babe, this is not bad. It is like having our very own hot lake. You know like the ones by the volcano! You done good babe!" 
"Thank you dear" replied Gretta as she handed him a rootbeer. "Now Grrry about the new rugs...." smile emoticon

Bed Bath and a Roar!

 

Bed Bath and a Roar! 

"improve this ..fix that." puffed Grrr as they ran" You apes always gotta monkey around with stuff!' "Yeah? Who invented rootbeer and big screen TV to watch dino movies on and movies? And for that matter?  I am not the guy with a big gas barbecue outside my door!" Puffed Bob. "Ok-ok so you did a few things right! But did ya have the brains to stop while ya were ahead? 

NO! You humans just don't know when to quit!" puffed Grrr in reply
It is all your fault!" roared an angry Grrr at Bob. 
"What did I do now? You rotten reptile' asked Bob as the two pals ran around the block together.
"You or ok, to be fair , your species, had to go and invent things!  NO! You humans just don't know when to quit!" puffed Grrr in reply
As the guys ran around the block, Bob replied; "Alright ya bum. What is on what we laughing call ya mind?"
"Gretta and Stef went to the mall!" replied an angry Grrr.
"This is news? They are always going to the Mall together! 

Oh! I get it. What did Gretta buy or make you DO that you do not like?'
"Make me??MAKE ME? you human guys may be wimps  ruled  by your mates but not us REX!    I RULE my cave with a iron claw! Why the very idea". 

After about 2 miles, Grrr said " Time out old ape?" Puff Puff " Yep I think we are getting old pal!" replied Bob as he dropped into the bench by Grrr and the guys shared a Gator-aid.....
"So what did she buy pal?' asked Bob.
"She ..it is not what she brought ..well it is but it is just un-dino...I mean it is ok for you humans if you like that sort of thing but we dino? For millions of years..I mean ????????
